Lost in the hoopla about the OC search, was the loss of another member of the coaching staff. This time it was VFL and support staff member, Montario Hardesty. He left to become the RB coach for Tyson Helton at Western Kentucky.
I have no problem with a VFL leaving to gain more coaching experience elsewhere. Especially since he wasn't even a position coach on the staff. There was speculation that Hardesty might have become the RB coach if OL coach Will Friend was to become the new OC at Tennessee.
With the departure of Hardesty, I think it is safe to assume that Friend is not at the top of the OC list for Jeremy Pruitt. Especially since names keep getting added to the list and Friend's name keeps getting mentioned less and less.
